The next morning Theodore woke up early and peeped out of
the window. It was a beautiful day and
he decided to wear his yellow bow again. "Yellow is for sunshine," he said to
himself, "and it would be good if the sun shines each day on our walk." He took everything out of his back pack so
that he could help Earth Bear carry the things they needed to take with
them. Earth Bear gave Theodore a stout
walking stick. "It is always a good
thing to have a strong stick with you," he said and soon they were packed up
ready to leave. Earth Bear made sure all
the windows were shut properly and latched his door. "I would not like any little visitors to raid
my pantry while I am away," he said, "raccoons and foxes and others can cause a
lot of damage." They walked through the
Rest Camp and Earth Bear showed Theodore the restaurant and the main office
before they set out on the trail. "This is where we start, shall I say 'Left,
Right, March'," said Earth Bear playfully.
